HIGHWAY JOINT
POWERS AGREEMENTS
Steve Groen, Highway Superintendent, presented a request for the authorization to have the Chair sign the 2023 South Dakota Department of Transportation Joint Powers Agreement to provide pavement marking for county roads. In previous years, the SDDOT solicited bids on behalf of all counties to have our roadway pavement markings re-painted, which obligates our participation in 2023, but the process has changed starting in 2024. The estimated total cost of striping approximately 91.2 miles of roads in 2023 for Minnehaha County is $51,838.53 with the County's share of this total is $20,735.41. In addition, the state offered a recessed grooving and epoxy painting program in 2023 with funding from the SDDOT Roadway Safety Improvement Program and is 100% paid by that fund. Approximately 29 miles of roads were striped in 2023. The preliminary cost estimates are subject to minor changes to actual bid pricing and field measured quantities. MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Authorize the Chair to Sign the 2023 South Dakota Department of Transportation Joint Powers Agreement to Provide for Pavement Marking of County Roads. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

Minnehaha County is expected to receive $23,085.76 of State Funding.

SAFETY VILLAGE DONATION
Scott Wick, CEO of Sioux Empire Fair Association, presented a briefing on a proposed Safety Village building donation at the Fairgrounds. Safety Village of South Dakota is looking to donate its building on the Fairgrounds to Minnehaha County for use by the Sioux Empire Fair Association. The building is a Governor's House that was acquired by Safety Village of South Dakota through a grant and the value of the building at that time was $33,000. The authority and circumstances of the placement of the structure on the Fairgrounds in 2008 are unclear, as there are no Fairgrounds or Safety Village records of the placement, and since 2008, the County has not conducted maintenance on the facility. The Sioux Empire Fair Association has requested that the proposed donation be placed on the agenda for a future Commission Meeting. Based on the discussions held during the March 20 meeting of the Sioux Empire Fair Association Board of Directors, the building would be used as the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds Main Administrative Office. If the donation was accepted by the County, the current Management Agreement states that the County would be responsible for repair expenses up to $5,000, planned maintenance of HVAC, and property insurance on the building, whereas the capital improvements would be determined annually through the budget process. Facilities Director Kriens has inspected the building and found that there is no significant structural or mechanical issues associated with it.
MOTION by Bender, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Continue the Discussion for the Fairgrounds Proposed Safety Village Building Donation until May 7th, 2024, meeting. 8 ayes.
